It's been quite stressful here...my uncle died last Saturday am, and I sat w/ him several days & nights before that. I also have another lady I'm guardian for, and she's not well at all! THEN, the rains came again, and our basement (also the lower level of our Amish furniture store) got wet, and we still don't have it dry! Then, the water went over the road near our driveway...it's back inside the creek banks now...and then we discovered yesterday that our Hunting Lodge basement (just recently completed remodeling there) was sitting w/3-4" of water in it! My poor husband has been working on it, had it down last night, and then today, found more water over the floor, so he's back at it again! In the meantime, I'm trying hard to get the "musty" wet smell out of our basement before customers come, but I'm not succeeding! Well, so much for that mess.....the stress eating is definitely something a lot of us have to deal with, and I'm trying hard to eat ok, and drink, drink, drink water and hot green tea!!!!!! That helps me sooooooooo much! Keep up the good work......oh, by the way, I had gained back some that I'd lost, but decided last night to measure.....I'd not done that since I started.........and was amazed! I've lost over 3" around the waist, and some everywhere else too! I'm amazed!!!!!!! Have a GREAT weekend!

Wow thats great! You are obviously working very hard! I've lost about 7. It's been tough to stay on program the past week...husband lost his job (stress), and now I'm getting this sore throat/congested chest thing thats really sucking my energy. I'm a stress eater, so it's been tough, but I'll just do the best I can do and keep plugging away....baby steps...

Kathy, We lived in El Cerrito, too. For about 8 yrs., and loved it there. But we had the opportunity to buy a house and by then were priced out of E.C. Someday we plan to go back. Cute town, close to everything. Small town feel but close to S.F and Oakland. How fun to be in Mexico! I have a friend there that owns a scuba school.

Welcome, Laura! from north Missouri! This is a great site!!!!! I also started 2 weeks ago yesterday, and I've lost 9 lb already! The support, the tracking, and tracking our water intake is the thing that's making this happen! Welcome, and keep in touch!
